US Tax Consulting

With multinational businesses becoming increasingly affected by tax and legislative developments throughout the world, a company’s understanding the tax impact of its business operations is essential for success. Thus, management must be well-versed in the tax regimes of both the United States and local jurisdictions in order to remain competitive in today’s dynamic business landscape.

As companies with operations connected with the United States may be subject to taxation on their worldwide income, efficiently structuring their business could prove to be more complex than ever. The accelerating pace of US international tax reform also poses a challenge to companies who must keep abreast of these developments.

PwC’s Singapore-based US tax consulting team consists of professionals experienced in the area of US international taxation. We offer both advisory and compliance services to help companies address their US taxation concerns, whilst leveraging on our insight to provide advice that is in line with their corporate strategy and business goals. Our team can assist multinational businesses in addressing their cross-border needs, as well as in achieving a more tax-efficient global operational structure.
